UNITED STATES HENRY CHRISTIAN GOETTING, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

COLLAR.

Application and may 20, 1925. serial Na. 31,559.

This invention relates to collars and more particularly to collars ofthe semi-softtypc, although it is obvious that the invention isapplicable to soft collars or stili collars, the

" o primary object of the invention being to pro '-15 invention consistsin certain 'novel features of construction and combinations andarrangements of partsz which will be more fully hereinafter describedand pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings- Figure 1 is a perspective view of myimproved collar;

' Figure 2 is an exa gerated View in' section on the line 2--2 of igure1;

Figure 3 is an exaggerated view in section on the line 3-3 of Figure l;

Fi ure 4 is a planV view of the collar flattene out. My improved collaris of the turnover type, comprising an inner -neckband portion 1 and anouter eX osed section 2. These sections may be .ma e of any suitablethickness or thicknesses of material. I have illustrated the collar bandportion 1 as of two thicknesses, and the outer portion 2 of a singlethickness, but it is obvious that I may employ any desired thicknessesof material with the several thicknescs secured together by lines ofstitching 3.

The collar is folded along the line 4 so that the outer'portion 2 willlie` against the inner portion l but will provide ample space for anecktie to slide frecl thereon. This inner ortion 1 is provide with asuitable button iole 5 at the back of the collar and -with buttonholetabs 6 at the front of the collar to attach the same in the ordinarymanner.

I would call particular attention to the shape of. the extremities ofthe outer )ortion 2. These extremities form tongues which are integralwith the collar but which taper, as indicated most clearly in Figures 1and 4.

The inner portion 1 of the collar is pro- .vided adjacent its front endat its upper edge with wings 8, 8. These wings are .made 1n` tegral withor constitute a fixed part of the mner portion 1 of the collar, and maybc ot' any desired size and shape, and are folded outwardly and securedto the inner portion 6o 1 b lines of stitching 9.

t is to be understood that these lines of stitching 9 extend through theinner portion 1 and also through the wings 8 so that the wings aremaintained properly folded ye! 6,5

are free at their lower portions anu capa.- ble of being bent outwardlyso as to allow the tongues or extremities 7 of the outer portion of thecollar to rest under the same and be held under the wings so as to pre-l7o vent said extremities from outward sw1nging movement.

Ihe collar ma be laundered Aflat, as shown v in Figure 4, an folded asindicated in Figure 1 for use.

The ordinary'necktie v(not shown) is positioned between the inner andouter portions 1 and 2, and that portion of the tie which goes aroundthe collar is entirely hid, so thatI provide a collar which has all ofthe 80 attractive appearance of a wing collar combined with theattractiveness of a turnover collar which hides that portion of thenecktie around the collar.

Various slight changes and alterations might be made in the general formof the arts described wit-hout departing from my invention and hence Ido not limit myself to the precise details set forth butJ considermyself at liberty to make such slight changes and alterations as fairlyfall within the spirit and scope of the appended claim.

I claim:

As a new article of manufacture, a turnover collar, having inner andouter members '95 or portions, wings at the front of the collar securedto the inner member of the turnover collar at its forward ends andfolded downwardly, a line of stitching extending through the downwardlyextended wings wu and through the inner member of the eollar, holdingthe wings in their normal set position, the outer port-ion of theturnover collar being appreciahly ,shorter than the inner portion ot'said collar and adapted to m5 lie under and be hidden by the wings.
